Sophie’s first bike race

Here is Sophie at the kids’ part of last weekend’s cyclocross race. Sophie is the littlest one, in the pink helmet – the only one who still needs to be pushed on her bike, but she is only 16 months old, after all. The best part about this photo is that Sophie’s friend Olivia (the big girl on the far right) taught her that if she wants to ride her bike, she has to wear her helmet. Now I just need to convince her dad of that same rule for when Sophie wants to ride HIS bike. It’s hard to stop them, though, when they look so cute.
